Polish Cooking is a mix of German, Russian, Turkish, Italian and eastern European influences. Their cooking regularly consists of plenty of pork, chicken, spices, noodles and winter vegetables in dishes from Poland and eggs and cream are frequently used. Polish people do not mind using a lot of time cooking holiday meals and some recipes can take a few of days to finish.

The Polish eat their main meal at about 2PM and this is usually a soup and then maybe herring in oil, vinegar or cream, vegetables in aspic or cured meats, and finally a meat dish like breaded pork cutlet or a roast.

Shredded root vegetables with sugar and lemon or fermented cabbage used to be popular but leaf salad is more common now. Traditional cereals or potatoes are served on the side and meals usually end with a dessert such as yeast cake or poppy seed pastries. Meat dumplings, stuffed beef slices, tripe, pork knuckles with vegetables and chilled beet soup are also popular in Poland and chilled fruit soup is a summer favorite.

Some soups, which are popular in Poland, are similar to ones you might know, like mushroom soup, tomato soup with rice or pasta, chicken soup or pea soup. Others are a bit more unusual like duck blood soup, sorrel soup, tripe soup with marjoram or chilled sour milk and beet soup.
